INGREDIENTS

2 teaspoons butter

2 teaspoons sugar

3 small bananas, thinly sliced

2 teaspoons rum

1 teaspoon banana liqueur

4 sheets phyllo dough

Canola oil

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and dissolve. Add bananas and cook 1 minute. Add rum and liqueur and cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat. On a work surface lay 1 sheet of phyllo at a time with the narrow end toward you. Lightly spray or brush the sheet with oil. Fold sheet into thirds, lengthwise. Spray again with oil. Spoon 3 tbsp filling onto phyllo strip, about 1 1/2 inches from the bottom and slightly to the left. Fold up a 1 1/2-inch flap to cover filling. Fold lower left corner of phyllo diagonally to the right side of dough to cover filling. Continue folding flag-style until you reach the end of the sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and filling. Place turnovers onto a baking sheet lightly coated with oil. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
